Synth Porn

Here's a picture from the last show, had to move things around because i ended up sharing the keys with the guitarist on some tunes so needed more room.

Which synth does the fattest bass sounds?

Out of the 3 synths there, IMO the bass station does the fattest bass sound.

BUT... which is best for metal

Any of them through the right distortion pedal.

I used to run a Casio CZ5000 through a Boss Super Distortion and Feedbacker.

Needs some of these.

Much synth porn here (look there's even an old Jen SX1000 at the back, I had one of those LOL).

I enjoyed that. I had a SX1000 too.

still one of the best bits of synth porn, from Herbie's LP Sunlight

LP came with a fly sheet, explaining what each synth was....nice!

[BassTractor]

OK, I'll give it a go:
From close to distant, and left to right:

Moog Polymoog
Yamaha CP30
Arp Odyssey
Moog Minimoog
Moog Micromoog (or that other tinylittle one - name escapes me - not the Multimoog at any rate)
Hohner Clavinet (probably D6)
Oberheim Eight-Voice
unknown 4-octave thing
unknown 3.5-octave thing (though I do recognise it immediately, I have no clue)
Yamaha CS50 (I'd expect a CS80 there, but this one looks small and with one row of controls on top?)
Arp 2600

Here's my miniporn:

[BassTractor]

That's maxiporn!
Fond memories. I think my Philicorda was exactly like that one, or yours may even be my old one: I seem to recognise the finger wear around the knobs. :-)
Great space for a synth on top too.

I think I've alreayd commented on the Phat one on another forum.
Congrats with both!

[BassAgent]

Thanks! It's the tube version, but it didn't include the original tube amp. I replaced the weird 5-point connection with a regular jack, and when connected with my Epiphone Valve Jr, it sounds great!

[chriswareham]

Hmm, synth porn. Here's my collection of unreliable analogue antiques:



Roland TR-77, Roland Jupiter 4 and Oberheim OB-X. All with MIDI retrofits.



ARP Omni II and Solina String Ensemble Mk I.



Powertran Transcendent 2000.

Plus about a dozen other rack mounted or percussion analogue oddities such as a Syncussion and Clap Trap.

Oh my! Will the God of analogue synthesizers ever stop laughing at me? My first Saturday job as a 16 year old yoof was in 1979 at Chase Music in Manchester who were the ARP dealers. I vaguely paid some attention to the products as I sweat my teenage nads off humping those massive boxes around and setting gear up at various roadshows. And Poly/ Mini Moogs, and Oberheims....I was more interested in girls and "proper" rock and roll.....

Heh...I was actually quite into the fusion jazz scene in the mid-70s, but it would've been pretty hard to ignore the ARP stuff anyway, given that I was a factory tech for a while. Never could afford to buy one back then, but we had a pretty nice employee studio that produced a lot pf sonic mayhem after regular working hours.

Probably the the coolest thing I worked on there was building up a few [url="http://www.vintagesynth.com/arp/2500.php"]2500 panels[/url] right around the time [i]Close Encounters[/i] came out. There were only two guys in the factory who really knew how they went together, the guy who was in the movie and Al Pearlman himself. Good times...
